KELLY Ripa has some plans to exploit her privacy after her youngest son finally leaves home.
The Live! host plans to spend her time getting naked with her husband of 24 years, Mark Consuelos.
The 49-year-old told People Now that she intends to bare it all, once she has an empty nest.
“We’re going to be totally naked,” the talk show host joked. “At all times. We are going to change the locks.”
She added that she surprises people by telling them that she’s looking forward to all of her children moving out.
“People are like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna miss the kids.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know, I wanna experiment with it. See how that goes,’” she said.
The talk show host shares sons Michael, 22, and Joaquin, 16, and daughter Lola, 18 with her husband.
Ripa and Consuelos’ two older children already live out of the household: son Michael, 22, resides in Brooklyn, while daughter Lola, 18, is a freshman at New York University, according to People.
She said that it’s when youngest child Joaquin heads off to college, the clothes will be coming off.
Ripa also revealed that the secret to her long marriage is to be supportive of each other.
She explained to the publication: “We encourage each other.”
“I hate when people say this – because it sounds so dumb – but we are best friends and we love each other and we like each other and we’ve got these beautiful, amazing kids and we feel very fortunate to have found, in this great big world with all these people, we’re just two kids,” she continued.
“He’s from Italy, I’m from south Jersey, what are the chances we would find each other?” she concluded.
The couple met in 1995, when they both worked on soap opera All My Children and eloped to marry in 1996.
